Filling up the Diesel

I knew that I had left PA and gotten into the Midwest when I found a pump like this to fill up my lovely car. I think this was in Ohio someplace. Eh, whatever. I didn't take too many photos of the landscape, but I'll describe it -- flat. There are farms and grass and trees, but not much else. The roads don't turn much, you can see for miles, and the sky looks absolutely stunning around sunset.

So it turns out that Indy isn't in the Central time zone as I had thought. Thus, the sun sets around here well after 9. And so it's not dark until after 10. Crazy. Posted by Picasa
